This session provides an in-depth look at acute stroke interventions from a vascular and interventional cardiology perspective. It covers cerebral vascular anatomy relevant to stroke, various mechanical thrombectomy techniques, and the expanding role of interventional cardiologists in acute stroke management, illustrated through case presentations.

This session addresses the challenges of calcium modification and atherectomy in complex coronary interventions. It features case studies on stent deformation, advanced calcium modification strategies including orbital and laser atherectomy, imaging-guided approaches, and management of complications such as stent dislodgement, offering comprehensive insights into contemporary techniques...

Focusing on transcatheter aortic valve interventions, this session covers a broad spectrum of complex cases including emergent TAV-in-SAV procedures, management of severely calcified bicuspid valves, zero-contrast TAVI techniques, and strategies for hostile anatomies. It provides valuable insights into procedural planning and follow-up to optimize patient care...

A 78-year-old male with a history of rheumatic disease underwent surgical mitral valve replacement (Perimount Magna 25), surgical aortic valve replacement (Perimount Magna), and CABG (LIMA–LAD) in 2010. He presented with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation and normal LV function.

He was treated with implantation of a 26...

This case-based debate examines the complementary roles of IVUS and OCT imaging modalities in precision PCI. It highlights lesion-specific factors guiding modality choice, including left main disease, bifurcations, calcified plaques, and acute coronary syndromes, supported by real-world clinical cases demonstrating imaging-based decision-making.

Dejan Milasinovic provides his take on the REVIVED trial - percutaneous revascularisation for ischaemic ventricular dysfunction, which was presented during ESC Congress 2022 in Barcelona.

This case highlights the potential add-on value of reduced-order computational modeling over standard CT scan analysis due to its ability to predict the interaction of different devices or sizes with the patient-specific anatomy.

Paris, France, 16 May 2023. Within 20 years of its first appearance on the clinical stage, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) has become an established treatment option for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) that is supported by Class IA recommendations in current European and...

EuroPCR is celebrating being back home in Paris, in-person, for the first time in 3 years. This year’s international Course will see both a complete on-site programme and a full digital experience, bringing the community together to share and learn.

Paris, France. At EuroPCR 2023, the interventional community paid tribute to Emergency Medical Services throughout the world for their critical role in enabling timely care. International representatives of emergency medical services received the Andreas Grüntzig Ethica Award at the opening ceremony of this year’s Course, further...

Paris, France, 17 May 2023.  The field of coronary drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty looks set to assume growing importance in the years to come and the potential for increased use of these devices in clinical practice is considerable.

EuroPCR, the annual world-leading Course in interventional cardiovascular medicine, has been taking place for over 30 years. It is tailored for all those dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and skills, and improvement of patient care worldwide: interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, radiologists, nurses, allied...

Paris, France. 21 May 2021.  Since 1989, EuroPCR has constantly pioneered innovative educational tools and formats to help the interventional cardiovascular community effectively share their knowledge, skills and practice. Rising up to the challenge of the pandemic, the 31st annual edition was fundamentally rethought, reshaped and...

Ali Nazmi Calik provides his take on UNIVERSAL randomized clinical trial, which questioned whether routine ultrasonography guidance for CFA access for cardiac procedures reduces bleeding or vascular complications. This trial was presented by Sanjit S. Jolly during TCT 2022.
